Hardback with dust jacket, as new condition inside and out, clean crisp and unmarked etc. Scarce title. University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, NC, 1978. Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Eberhardt (1758-1839) was master clock maker in Salem for more than thirty-eight years. Albright attributes more than thirty clocks to Eberhardt, building his evidence by a diligent reading of the Moravian records and by a careful cataloging of the characteristics of each clock. He reconstructs Eberhardt's methods of clock-making in precise detail from the inventories and the purchase invoices of equipment and materials, and he attempts to identify the cabinetmaker in each case.
